A look at the new product was shared on the Inverness Beauty TikTok page, which posts the latest drops in the Primark beauty and hair departments.
In the video, they showed the dry shampoo, which contains hyaluronic acid and "absorbs oils, sweat and volumises hair".
It also costs £4 for 54g, compared to £26 for 56g of Aveda's much-loved Shampowder dry shampoo.
"I hope it's like the Aveda one!!!" one person wrote in the comments section of the TikTok video.
"Oooo a trip to Primark for me!" another added.
"If you see this, I need to try it!" a third insisted, tagging a friend.
Aveda's Shampowder shampoo has long been a favourite among beauty fans - particularly for the fact that it doesn't leave a white residue like its aerosol equivalents.
"Perfect for absorbing excess oil, impurities and sweat with powerful plant powders, this dry shampoo powder instantly adds volume and texture to refresh style," Aveda say of the product on their website.
And the reviews for the pricey product are overwhelmingly positive, with one person writing: "I have been using this product for a few weeks now, I wanted to test it on days where I really needed to rescue my hair!
"I have dark brown hair and was worried at first that it comes out a white powder, but very pleased when I found it disappeared when it absorbed the oils.
Primark adds brand new Sol De Janeiro dupes to its beauty aisles and they're perfect for keeping you smelling sweet on holiday too
"I like that it isn't a spray but found the bottle a bit fiddly, took a little time to get used to."
"Love this new dry shampoo format," another added.
"It gives you good control over how much product to use vs an aggressive aerosol.
"Please bring out a dark haired version!"
"This is my new go-to dry shampoo!" a third commented.
"I love the signature Aveda smell of the formula; it's gentle and pleasant.
Top Primark summer buys
IF you're looking for more Primark summer buys, then you've come to the right place.
Shoppers have recently been raving about the new Miffy PJs from Primark.
Others were desperate to nab the new leopard print nightwear.
If animal print is your thing, you'll want to check out the new maxi skirts.
The haltnerneck tops are perfect for summer.
If you're on a budget, these trousers are identical to a pair from Zara, but without the hefty price tag.
There's brilliant travel essentials for less than £10.
And if you plan on heading to the beach, you won't want to miss these crochet bags.
"The bottle and application method is so easy to use, it evenly distributes the product and works so well to absorb the excess oil and gives me volume to extend my wash day out by a day."
Aveda isn't the only company to release an aerosol-free dry shampoo, however.
Stacey Solomon's Rehab brand also has a powder-based formula, but it's still pricey at £24.
Despite that, reviewers rave about the Essential Dry Shampoo, with some going as far to call it "one of the best dry shampoos" they've ever used.

Rogue imports of ‘Dubai chocolate' may threaten Britons with allergies, FSA says
Pistachio-filled 'Dubai chocolate' is one of the UK's hottest food trends but officials are warning that rogue imports could pose a serious threat to people with allergies. With shoppers clamouring to get their hands on the bars, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said it has identified a 'number of products that pose a health risk to consumers with allergies'. Although most of the chocolate is 'safe' to eat, the body says it is concerned that some bars do not have reliable labels. It is also possible they contain banned additives and dyes. Its officials are working with local councils to get problem bars cleared from shelves. The bars were first invented in 2021 by Sarah Hamouda, a British-Egyptian living in Dubai. The indulgent treat went on to become a huge hit on social media. One video of a food influencer eating the bar, which contains a filling of pistachio cream and tahini with knafeh (a traditional Arab dessert), has clocked up more than 100m views on TikTok. The chocolate has become so popular it is one of the factors blamed for a shortage of pistachios. The scale of the demand from sweet-toothed consumers inspired specialists, such as Lindt, to launch their own versions as well as supermarkets from Lidl to Waitrose. The FSA's chief scientific adviser, Prof Robin May, said: 'The vast majority of food in the UK is safe, but some imported Dubai-style chocolate products don't meet our standards and could be a food safety risk, especially for consumers with allergies'. 'We advise sticking with trusted retailers, like the ones you'd use for your weekly shop, as products are more likely to be made for UK consumers and so are safe to eat.' By law, products made to UK standards should have labels in English that carry a list of ingredients, with the allergens emphasised. The packet should also give the name and address of the UK or EU business responsible for the product information. Sign up to Business Today Get set for the working day – we'll point you to all the business news and analysis you need every morning after newsletter promotion The FSA says it is trying to establish the scale of the problem. While this work takes place, it is advising those with a food allergy or intolerance to only purchase bars that are clearly intended for sale in the UK.

EXCLUSIVE I was excited to come to Australia on a working holiday visa - but here's what they DON'T tell you
A British traveller has shared one of the biggest struggles she's been faced with since moving to Australia that 'no one talks about'. Alice Carter moved Down Under four months ago, swapping London for Sydney, but has been left fearing she'll be forced to return to the UK after struggling to find a job. Despite plenty of experience, the former social editor has been unable to land a role in her chosen field due to the restrictions on her Working Holiday visa. 'It's been such a struggle and no one talks about it,' she told Daily Mail Australia. UK passport holders between the ages of 18 and 35 qualify for Working Holiday visas, which allow Brits to live and work Down Under for up to three years. As of July 2024, Brits no longer have to complete three months of farm work to apply for a second or third visa - but they cannot work for the same employer for more than six months. Ms Carter said she believed her most recent role as social editor at UK publication The Independent made her an ideal candidate for social marketing and strategy roles in Australia. But she has found herself in the same position time and time again where prospective employers have 'really liked her', but can't offer her a job because the visa limitations mean they will have to fill the position again in just a few months. While the rule is explained to applicants in the fine print, what isn't explained, according to Ms Carter, is how reluctant companies are to hiring anyone on a working holiday visa. Ms Carter said employer after employer has been wary of hiring her as she is unable to commit to a contract of longer than six months. 'I've just got off another interview and she said she really loves me and then she finds out I have my working holiday visa and then she tells me no,' she recalled in a video shared to TikTok. 'That's probably the 12th time that's happened where I've gone through a whole interview or started an interview and they've really liked me and I've really liked them. 'Then they say they can't offer the job due to my visa.' Ms Carter said she always makes it clear on any job application that she is a Working Holiday applicant The former social editor, who has worked with brands including Marie Claire UK, Depop and clothing brand TM Lewin, admitted she is considering returning home because she can't find work. Ms Carter's video was flooded with comments from other Brits who had found themselves in the same situation. One viewer said the same thing 'is constantly happening to me... starting to think Aus is no longer the dream'. Ms Carter replied: 'Sorry to hear! I've been here four months and I can't even get hospitality, thinking to have to go home too.' Another commented: 'Who the hell came up with the name of it like why's it called WORKING holiday if none of us can get any damn work, like???' 'It's a nightmare, I've managed 12 months at a place through a recruitment company and then working for the company itself but I'm now in the job hunting part again, job ends in two weeks and I'm dreading it,' another wrote. 'Just keep applying stay persistent I was the same you'll eventually get one that one employer who will give you a chance,' a third said. According the the Department of Home Affairs, the rule is intended to 'provide a temporary opportunity to work while exploring and enjoying the country'. It argues that 'tourism and travel should remain the primary focus of the visa holder's stay' and that work should only be for a 'temporary and secondary income source during a holiday'. However, as many visitors like Ms Carter are finding out, rather than limiting work to six months, the rule is preventing any work at all. Brits on Working Holiday visas are not subject to the six month work limitation if they work in plant and animal cultivation, natural disaster recovery, and critical sectors, including agriculture, food processing, health, aged and disability care and childcare, tourism and hospitality, anywhere in Australia. Certain industries in Northern Australia, including fishing and pearling, tree farming and felling, construction and mining, are also exempt. In certain situations Working Holiday visa holders can ask the government for permission to extend the limitation. You do not need to ask permission to work with the same employer for more than six months if you work in different locations, including working from home, but work in any one location must not exceed six months.

I'm a Vinted expert and I've worked out exactly when to sell clothes to make the most money
A Vinted seller has shared her number one tip for quickly and efficiently selling your pre-loved clothes. UK-based mother and Vinted enthusiast Rachael, who goes by @RachShops on TikTok, sells second-hand clothing on the online marketplace. If her daughter's clothes no longer fit her, for example, she takes to the app and makes a profit from them, instead of leaving good quality clothes hanging in the wardrobe. But she says the key to selling fast on Vinted is timing - specifically which part of the month you list your items. In fact, Rachel explains, listing items towards the end of the month when most people are getting paid could mean they get snapped up more quickly - as it's 'prime selling time'. In a TikTok video posted towards the end of the month, Rachael said: 'This is my most popular Vinted selling tip - the plan is part of a strategy.' Holding up a tub of spring and summer clothes, Rachael said she planned to list them all on Vinted that evening. 'The bigger picture of me doing this tonight is because it's the 27th, it's near the end of the month and most people are getting paid. 'Believe me, this is prime selling time, so I always make sure I list around these days at the end of each month.' Rachael said that, as most people get paid around that time, they have the cash to spend. 'And they will be spending it on Vinted as well,' she said. The avid seller also offered some other timing tricks that she swears by for best results on the app. Rachael advised to make sure that clothes are being sold seasonally in order to maximise sales, for example when listing items during the spring and summer. 'Always think about that when you're listing stuff,' Rachael continued. 'Just make sure it's relative to the time of year and what people are actually looking to buy.' Rachael said that having suitable mailing bags already on hand saves both time and money, and prevents you from rushing at the last minute. 'The thing I would highly recommend you do if you are a Vinted seller is have mailing bags ready before you list anything so you're organised and prepared. Rachael says it all comes down to timing - and listing your items at the end of the month lines up with most people's paydays 'You should have mailing bags to start with - it saves the stress, first of all, of knowing what to package it up in. 'Second of all, you can post it really quickly, helping towards your positive feedback and good reviews.' And Rachael urged sellers to post their items quickly, for the simple reason that you'll 'get your money' faster as a result. Bu the successful seller is not the first to share her useful hacks for making the most of the app. Another secondhand online clothes seller who has made thousands of pounds on Vinted previously revealed her top tips for sales success. Maisie, who is from Yorkshire, searches cat boot sales, charity shops and online pre-loved websites for cheaply-priced garments with a high resale value. Although it started off as a side hustle, Maisie made reselling her full time career last year after earning £18,000 from flogging clothes. Now, she has helped others by telling them how they too can make a wage from the app - and according to her, it's very simple. Maisie said: 'I absolutely love buying on Vinted to resell on Vinted. It's so easy and it just goes to show the difference that a good quality picture with good lighting and a good background can honestly make.' She says that you should always list similar clothes sizes at the same time on Vinted, as people may browse your page and find other items that they like, resulting in more sales. 'They're more likely to get their money's worth by buying a bundle from you so it will boost your sales and your profit at the same time,' Maisie added. 'You're only having to ship out one parcel and the buyer is only having to pay one lot of postage and fees.'
